...doing much of the legwork for the International Refugee Organization and the U.S. Displaced Persons Commission, I am familiar with the size and importance of the problem which remains, now that I.R.O. has ended.

The remaining people are liabilities, and the problem must be tackled in those terms. It is no good peering at their X-ray plates and exclaiming in horror, 'Oh, but this girl has active TB!' Of course she has. That is why she and her family are still rotting in Germany...
